Have a look here mate
http://www.turtletimes.com
or
http://www.turtleforums.com

They are both American forums but have a lot of European members, there are a lot of Box turtle fanatics on both forums.

There were a few at Hamm. I saw juveniles of both three-toed and ornate boxies.

Last March there were quite a few Gulf Coasts, both adults and juveniles. None this year that I saw.

There is a guy in the UK that offers CB babies most years. Can't remember what types he breeds though...
